This winter will be difficult for thousands living in fuel poverty – which is why NEA has partnered with Utilita to provide £10,000 of funding as part of the Utilita Energy High Five Awards.

Overall, NEA is pleased that Ofgem is seeking to extend protections for domestic customers who may have prepayment meters installed under warrant (Electricity and Gas Supply Standard Licence Condition 28B). We fully support this approach and it will be necessary until at least mid-2025 when the smart meter rollout should finally largely complete.

The energy regulator Ofgem has today published its final proposals for its price control for the next five years for gas transmission, electricity transmission, gas distribution and the electricity system operator in Great Britain.

National fuel poverty charity highlights that millions of people in cold homes are at greater risk this winter, as COVID-19 intensifies seasonal stresses for those on lowest incomes and in the least efficient homes.

The Warm and Safe Homes Action Guides are designed to be practical and easy-to-use documents that will help you identify the best solutions for householders who are worried about keeping their homes warm and paying their energy bills.

In any normal winter millions of people struggle to stay warm at home. Rising energy costs, low incomes and energy inefficient homes converge to leave them in desperate situations where they can no longer afford to heat their homes.

Today’s Spending Review has confirmed the UK Government will continue to invest in upgrading the UK’s buildings to make people warmer and more comfortable, and our homes cheaper to heat.

Water is unquestionably essential to all aspects of life, and so it is vitally important that all households are supported to ensure they have access to safe, clean and affordable water – something which the United Nations recognise as a human right.
